Hi everyone. had a question about Ty... He had a MRI and here are the results.

[Guest guest]

Well Ty had an episode where he had a seizure lasting about 6 minutes

at school, they said he went limp and was like carring a dead person.

So , I took him to one of the closer hospital, and then they sent

hime to Children's hospital in St. Louis. They did an EEG and found

some abnormalities on it, so then they wanted to do a MRI.. Well we

found out that in the left Temporal lobe is where the seizure are

coming from. So in away I am happy that they found the problem,

because teachers, aides, OT's PT's and the Speech Therapist had all

thought and figured they were seizures for a while, but we couldn't

get it diagnoised, Infact the theory given to us from the neuroligist

was it is behavioral.

Ok so here is my questions, we recently changed schools, and at the

old school Ty was having his seizures everyday in the lunch room, my

conclusion on that was it must be a trigger to the seizures, the

sounds, the loudness. etc. But, now that we are at the new school,

since Dec. he has only had one seizure. So, meds for seizures cause

liver damage. and the type of seizures Ty has our small ones, usually

lasting just seconds. I was told that these do not cause damage to

the brain, it is the ones that last an hour or longer that will cause

damage. So my debate is, no meds and just deal with the small

seizures when he has them, *note* we have Diastate for him in case a

seizure was to last over 5 minutes that the school as well has the

med to give him in case he is there when it happens. Or do the

meds,. NOw if he was having them everyday still, no doubt I would do

the meds. But I was just wondering if anyone else deals with this,

or have any suggestions. Thank you so much!!!! Hugs, AMY
